Enrollment and teachers

  • State count: 1,476 students on the 2024-25 Alabama state report card.

State report card

Alabama grades every public school from A to F each year. The grade comes from a 100-point score built from students’ achievement and growth on state tests in English language arts and math, chronic absenteeism (the share of students who missed 18 or more days), progress in English language proficiency and, for high schools, graduation rate and college and career readiness, according to the Alabama State Department of Education’s report card rules.

2024-25 grade: D, 61 points. That compares with a C and 71 points on the 2023-24 card. Montgomery Public Schools as a whole earned a C, with 75 points. The state lists Carver High as a Comprehensive Support and Improvement School, a federal designation that brings a school improvement plan.

Indicator 2024-25 score
Academic achievement (ELA and math tests) 19.28
Academic growth 75.94
Graduation rate 82.74%
College and career readiness 72.57%
Progress in English language proficiency 15.00
Chronic absenteeism (lower is better) 49.22% of students

Carver High’s full report card, with results by student group, teachers and spending, is on the state’s report card site. Graduation rate and college and career readiness are reported a year behind, so the 2024-25 card counts the class of 2024.
